With Papua New Guinea named by National Geographic as one of the best cultural destinations in the world, PNG’s profile as a cultural capital has dramatically enhanced. The Tourism Promotion Authority’s (TPA) next step is to work closely with key stakeholders to continue to promote authentic PNG. Although the country is not a mass tourism destination, it is an adventure destination offering niche products like diving, fishing, surfing, trekking and culture.

One of PNG’s biggest draw cards is its’ exceptional array of activities.
